Sat, 09 Mar 2019 21:19:42 GMTBut Cindy has let me book something for next year.
Heading up to Dhipirri early May.
Good crew going up, same blokes I've been away with a few times. But it's one place I have told them for years I wouldn't go because of (IMO excessive) cost. But they've been nagging (most of them go up every year or two) and I caved due to being locked up with babies for too long.
But most surprisingly Cindy ok'ed it. Haha.
Will be interesting to see what I think of the value, I guess.

Took my brother out yesterday to try and find where the flatties hide in this river in summer. This has always been a challenge for me but I keep trying to crack the code. I can usually get my bag (and stay for more releasing the extras) in winter on softies in the piney but come summer.... I'm stumped. I have a theory that they're too full of prawns. It couldn't possibly be my gentlemans hours start times.

We had a late (for some) start around 9.30am and finished about 4, fishing nearly all of the runout.

We fished from the back of Bald Hills right down to the Ted Smout bridge. We tried everywhere and everything using soft plastics. Banks, dropoffs, creek mouths, channel edges, drifting, anchored. Did the lot. Even tried my secret winter honey holes that always fire for me.

After 6 hours of flogging the water to foam we ended up with 3 throwbacks, a legal bream (released), and 2 keeper flat ones (45 and 51) that just weren't worth a photo. The best one was a bartail and not a dusky. I don't catch too many of those in the piney.

I also caught a resonably sized fat shouldered trevally which I'm told don't cook up all that well, so I've been releasing all that I catch. But this one was a good size and is destined for the smoker for a test. Don't they go well for their size!

Anyway, I got my wife and I a feed for tea tonight and my brother got squat coz the only thing he caught was a bad case of sunburn. And I didn't bag him about that at all. Well... maybe just a tad. Like all day.
